Mention the amount of solar energy captured by the green plants out of the total energy that reaches on the earth from the sun and mention the percentage of energy, which is transferred from one trophic level to next higher one.

Linnaeus is considered as Father of Taxonomy. Name two other botanists known for their contribution to the field of plant taxonomy.

At what temperature will the rms speed of oxygen molecules become just sufficient for escaping from the Earth's atmosphere ? (Given : Mass of oxygen molecule (m) = 2.76 xx 10^(-26) kg , Boltzmann's constant k_B = 1.38 xx 10^(-23) JK^(-1) )

The earth's surface has a negative surface charge density of 10^(-9)C m ^(-2). The potential difference of 400 kV between the top of the atmosphere and the surface results (due to the low conductivity of the lower atmosphere) in a current of only 1800 A over the entire globe. If there were no mechanism of sustaining atmospheric electric field, how much time (roughly) would be required to neutralise the earth's surface? (This never happens in practice because there is a mechanism to replenish electric charges. namely tghe coontainual thunderstorms and lighting in different parts of the globe). (Radius of earth =6.37 xx 10 ^(6) m.)

(a) How many anstronomical units (AU) make 1 parsec ? (b) Consider a sunlike star at a distance of 2 parsecs. When it is seen through a telescope with 100 magnification what should be the angular size of the star ? Sun appears to be (1/2) from the earth. Due to atmospheric fluctuations, eye cannot resolve objects smaller than 1 arc minute. (c) Mars has approximately half of the earth's diameter. When it is closest to the earth it is at about 1/2 AU from the earth. Calculate what size it will appear when seen through the same telescope.

When a particle is undergoing motion, the diplacement of the particle has a magnitude that is equal to or smaller than the total distance travelled by the particle. In many cases the displacement of the particle may actually be zero, while the distance travelled by it is non-zero. Both these quantities, however depend on the frame of reference in which motion of the particle is being observed. Consider a particle which is projected in the earth's gravitational field, close to its surface, with a speed of 100sqrt(2) m//s , at an angle of 45^(@) with the horizontal in the eastward direction. Ignore air resistance and assume that the acceleration due to gravity is 10 m//s^(2) . Consider an observer in frame D (of the previous question), who observes a body of mass 10 kg acelerating in the upward direction at 30 m//s^(2) (w.r.t. himself). The net force acting on this body, as observed from the ground is :-
